Ralph Fiennes, Sylvie Testud and Aleksandr Baluev star in
this Russian adaptation of Ivan Turgenev's play. Married to a wealthy
landowner, Natalya (Anna Vartanyan) laments losing her allure over the opposite
sex as middle age approaches and finds herself increasingly jealous of her
adopted daughter Vera (Anna Levanova)'s youthful beauty. When she employs
21-year-old student Aleksei Belyaev (Nikita Volkov) to tutor her son Natalya
instantly falls in love with him but so too does Vera. While Natalya still
welcomes the attention of family friend Mikhail (Fiennes), a bitter rivalry
ensues between the two women as they compete for Aleksei's affection.
